Gut microbiota alterations in critically Ill patients with carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae colonization: A clinical analysis.
Article in Frontiers in microbiology, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Background: Carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae (CRE) are an emerging concern for global health and are associated with high morbidity and mortality in critically ill patients. Risk factors for CRE acquisition include broad-spectrum antibiotic use and microbiota dysbiosis in critically ill patients. Therefore, we evaluated the alteration of the intestinal microbiota associated with CRE colonization in critically ill patients. Methods: Fecal samples of 41 patients who were diagnosed with septic shock or respiratory failure were collected after their admission to the intensive care unit (ICU). The gut microbiota profile determined using 16S rRNA gene sequencing and quantitative measurement of fecal short-chain fatty acids were evaluated in CRE-positive ( Results: CRE carriers showed a significantly increased proportion of the phyla Proteobacteria and decreased numbers of the phyla Bacteroidetes as compared to the CRE non-carriers. Linear discriminant analysis (LDA) with linear discriminant effect size showed that the genera Conclusion: Critically ill patients with CRE have a distinctive gut microbiota composition and community structure, altered short-chain fatty acid production and changes in the metabolic pathways. Further studies are needed to determine whether amino acids supplementation improves microbiota dysbiosis in patients with CRE.
